Upgrading a cullet return system is not easy, no matter where it happens. But if the system is installed in a tight basement on a factory that never stops, the job is even more demanding. However, as always, our team was ready for the challenge.
Stoelzle Glass commissioned EME to modify one of its cullet return systems in Köflach, Austria. This is a long-term relationship. We upgraded its systems in 2005, 2007, 2017 and 2018. This time the modifications were done in furnace number two and executed on a turn-key basis. We supplied and installed four gob chutes, two scrapers with 35 tpd and 85 tpd capacity, four vibratory feeders and one belt conveyor.
The result is a factory plant much more efficient that makes world-class glass containers 24/7, all year round.
